Haan raw onion is totally ok yaar, actually I loved it with my food when pregnant. Just rinse it properly first. If it bothers your tummy then reduce, otherwise enjoy.

Beta, raw onion is cooling and fine in summer, we always ate it with meals. Just make sure it is clean and fresh. Dont eat too much if you feel gassy.

Raw onion is fine, just wash it well. I had it in salads all through both pregnancies. Only thing, if it gives you gas or acidity, cut down a bit.
